Welcome

What's up world?!! I figured it's time to start blogging again, after being out of it for a while. The title of my blog page has a purpose. Below is the definition of Conundrum.

co·nun·drum [kuh-nuhn-druhm] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun
1.a riddle, the answer to which involves a pun or play on words, as What is black and white and read all over? A newspaper.
2.anything that puzzles.


I figure, life is like one big ever changing puzzle. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, another piece to the puzzle is discovered, or worse, you start a new puzzle, perhaps not by choice.

Regardless, I wanted something other than Kevin's Blog Page, to write my chicken scratch.

A little about me... I am a software developer mostly specializing in web and desktop development using Java, and web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, XML and Ajax. I enjoy playing video games as well as sports, although my school boy figure wouldn't give any indication right now that I actually do the latter.

I am married, eleven freaking years!! Wow has the time gone by! I am actually starting to notice a few gray hairs now! Awesome! I am moving in to my distinguished years!! My wife and I have four children, which I will save the details for later blogs. Plenty to blog about there!

I graduated high school in 1990!! Woot, class of 90!! To save you the trouble of figuring out my age, as of this writing (2007) I am 35. I did go to junior college for three years, primarily to compete in track and field. While I almost finished a two year degree, I didn't quite do so well my last semester when I was working full time for United Airlines as well as full-time school and competing in track and field. It was quite a busy time back then, and I have aspirations to go back to school soon to complete my four year degree.

That's about it for now.
